I feel what George did with Jar Jar Binks, the underwater submarine ride, and the Gungans in Menace caused a ripple effect through out the Prequels, so as we know now Anakin and Obi Wan werent close friends and Anakin hasnt interacted properly with Palpatine until Ep 2(two essential relationships for the trilogy and weakend it by not showing proper relationships with both throughout the three movies)

Some of it was already spelled out in the original trilogy for him all he had to do was join the dots together and add a few extra bits and not include things like Qui-Gonn and follow the O.T story.(he has left alot up to the viewers interpretion {of events etc} and left things unexplained)

I am sure I read somewhere, by the story of the O.T George said he was tied down to show Anakin as a child, which could have been avoided somehow, possibly

and the love scenes could have more off screen instead of onscreen which again I am sure I read he said he was tied down to that part of the story

Its too late now but we will never know, what might have been had Lucas colleberated more on the story, might it have come out different....

Obi Wan not finding Anakin personally is to me one of the most bizzare if not the bizzarest descion George Lucas made for the prequels..

I have to say in my opinion a lot of what Obi Wan says to Luke in Jedi is either crap or open to a lot of interptation, when it should have been the simple truth.

The friendship seemed on like a proper on-screen friendship in Sith but never reaching the magical chemistry of Han and Luke, in Clones it was more like the mentor and his rebellious student with the student whining and moaning about this so-called friend with the odd real show of friendship, I feel maybe it should have been like Sith but in Clones with Anakin showing this friendship maybe towards the end of Clones and in the beginning of Sith the friendship becoming more and more strained. Only in Sith did feel Hayden and Ewan had any proper and good(depends on opinion) chemistry,parts of it showed in Clones maybe or not?, the other thing they parts of spent Clones apart each doing there own thing only meeting up again towards(more attention on the Padme relationship)

I have said this many times I never felt we saw enough on screen of Anakin showing the attributes Obi Wan described "the best starpilot in the galaxy" "a cunning warrior" and a "good friend" part of the problem maybe George Lucas descion to start the trilogy with Anakin so young(but what could he do??) and Qui-Gonn not discovering Anakin but Obi Wan would have made it better, as would if Obi Wans intial attitude was different i believe Obi Wans words were describing Anakin in passing as "a pathetic lifeform" to Qui Gonn didnt help

It all seemed to be squashed into Sith making Anakins turn and betrayal of Obi Wan and the Jedi slightly less convincing maybe? and would have been better spread over two movies?

I think SW is just right(maybe its my bias) but there to me is always something happening to keep my interest,and feel it is paced correctly yes there slower bits but it builds up, and is the only SW film I personally watch more than any other.

While browsing on here a while back Im sure something similar was posted, you do feel in hindsight a lot of issues and plot points were squeezed in to the film and maybe suffered because of it.

The weakness I find in this are the Jabba palace scenes and from the end of Speeder Bike chase to the Vader/Luke scenes on the platform they hold the film up with an exception for a few scenes such as Luke and Leia discussing their parents are side-tracking from the main story issues of the trilogy eg Luke Vader and the fall of the Empire, and they make it a lesser film than Star Wars and Empre Strikes Back.

I wish I could, but I like Revenge of the Sith too much, now if Lucas tinkered with some of Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen acting, put in the decent deleted scenes got rid of the Gungans at the funeral, then with the O.O.T I have a perfect little 4 film saga but its very very good like that as it is. End of Clone Wars-Fall of Anakin as Hayden-O.O.T-Redemption of Vader as Sebastian Shaw.

That is a great film and George.C.Scott was superb in it, as he was in the in my opinion the underated Exorcist 3

I have always thought the original original concept for ROTJ an Imperial City was to appear but due to effects limitations etc it had be Death Star 2 and T'Bones SWU site shows early concept drawings for Imperial City, Vader's Home and The Emperors Throne Room

From the IMDB

Bollywood Star Gulshan Grover has confirmed he will be the latest Bond baddie when Bond returns in Casino Royale

The My Bollywood Bride star revealed all the newspaper The Times of India but insisted he like the rest of world do not who will be playing Bond in the next movie, the movie which will be shooting in the Czech Republic in January he says" I met the Bond producers in LA a week ago, they are yet to announce it on the official site. They first want to announce the next Bond As of now they havent zeroed in on anyone to play the central role At least 300 actors have been considered for the role"

Goran Visnjic and Aussie actor Julian McMahon are among the favourites for the role, while rumors persist Pierce Brosnan will return for one more movie

Some people around the net who want the O.O.T dont help themselves I sent PMs trying to spread the word about us,the cause, and the wonderful fan-edits editons and at worst ebay but reply they are not interested or not at all,then they continue arguing about the SEs and wanting the O.O.T on DVD..

I think though I hate to say it Lucas will not release it, and one day they will realise they will have to settle for second best

Dont worry us here and many other people. appreciate Sebastian Shaw's performance as the ghost of Anakin even those at theforce.net and the offical site dont, and to many he will always the ghost of Anakin through our continued support of the O.O.T the sad thing is Hayden could never reach the level of performance of Shaw let them have Hayden and we will have Shaw(the REAL ghost of Anakin in the REAL versions of original trilogy).

I dont dislike the guy though can be annoying eg keeping going on about the CGI Yoda repeatly and creating controversy, and the trolling was way way of order, it is a worry that somebody will openly admit on a public forum those things and want to post those sort of things, you do wonder what he is gonna be like in a few years if he carries on, he will be a danger to his community(if he isnt now....) but what can you do you cant tell his parents that as we are total strangers they will have to find out one way or another.

Yeah I remember Road Rash I am fan of that it was a good game and enjoyed playing it , I think they made a follow up for the Megadrive/Genesis Road Rash 2, i also love a go or two of Super Hang-On which was just bike racing without the obstacles,

I love those retro games they were for there time so advanced, even though the games of today are so so more advanced technically i actually find some of these "older" games more fun to play.

The Genesis was a Megadrive over here, I actually bought one about 6 months ago off e-bay, and a stack of games, really really cheap love playing those retro games, some of them are so addictive my favs are Strider Streets of Rage 1 2 and Space Harrier,

Didnt mind the SNES they only game I really liked were Mario Kart and SuperMario World and the Super Star Wars ones(but they were so so difficult)

The guy was at it again this time on the official site, I would be surprised if he was allowed back on there, I made a sacrilgous visit and there he was an Adam wan Kenobi with the nice thread "Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucas($) is dragging out the old cash cow again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". he seems to want to make himself a "name" on the on-line Star Wars community by winding up and annoying people and being contraversial and getting some attention because of it.

I can understand where you older sister is coming from, to me there isnt the "magical" chemistry that Han Leia, Luke and Chewie had, only in parts of Clones and in Sith does the chemistry come near (people may agree/disagree), and the creativity nothing really comes near the famous opening sequence of Star Wars or the Introduction of the SuperStarDestroyer in Empire in my opinion in the first two, and for emotion only sequences in Sith comes near the binary sunset in Star Wars or the Vader revalation and I feel the pacing of the first two prequels is poor and drags compared to Star Wars and Empire,maybe Jedi, the only one i feel with proper pacing is Sith which I think most O.T fans, and agree personally is the best and the closest film to the O.T

I do feel Lucas was stuck between a rock and a hard place having to tell a story which was more "serious" for Star Wars and more serious than the O.T and having to keep it entertaining and kiddie friendly, only in Sith, though the others had moments, did Lucas finally pull it off, keep the serious side of the story, but keep it entertaining etc.
